Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a way to protect plastic pipes from damage during transport. The technical effect is a floatable pipe combination and a method for producing it.

Problems solved by technology

In this regard, the individual pipe combinations can collide and damage one another while being pulled by the ship.
In particular in flange regions on longitudinal ends of the pipe combinations, such damage is undesired since it can have a negative impact on the tightness of several connected plastic pipes.

Embodiment Construction

[0045]First of all, it is to be noted that in the different embodiments described, equal parts are provided with equal reference numbers and / or equal component designations, where the disclosures contained in the entire description may be analogously transferred to equal parts with equal reference numbers and / or equal component designations. Moreover, the specifications of location, such as at the top, at the bottom, at the side, chosen in the description refer to the directly described and depicted figure and in case of a change of position, these specifications of location are to be analogously transferred to the new position.

[0046]FIGS. 1 and 2 show a first exemplary embodiment of a floatable pipe combination 1 in two different views, wherein FIG. 1 shows a front longitudinal end 2 of a plastic pipe 3 in the foreground and FIG. 2 shows a rear longitudinal end 4 of the plastic pipe 3 in the foreground. In this respect, the plastic pipe 3 is shown in a shortened form and thus cut i...

Abstract

A floatable pipe combination has a plastic pipe having a rear longitudinal end, on which a rear flange region is formed, and a front longitudinal end, on which a front flange region is formed, a closing cover arranged on the rear longitudinal end, and a closing cover arranged on the front longitudinal end. A pulling device is arranged on the closing cover. At least on the front longitudinal end, a flange protection with an outer protective covering is arranged. The outer protective covering is formed to radially project with respect to the outer diameter of the plastic pipe.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is the National Stage of PCT / AT2018 / 060156 filed on Jul. 20, 2018, which claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 of German Application No. 10 2017 117 045.6 filed on Jul. 27, 2017, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference. The international application under PCT article 21(2) was not published in English.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to a floatable pipe combination.Description of the Related Art[0003]Plastic pipes with a large diameter, which are installed in waters, are needed in diverse fields of application. In this regard, the plastic pipes are guided into the water immediately after extruding. Hence, it is possible to produce plastic pipes having a length of more than 5 m, in particular having a length of more than 1,000 m, in a strand. The plastic pipes are provided with closing covers at their longitudinal ends after production and are thereby turned into flo...
